Stayed here while at the Galway races. Excellent location close to the bus station and a short walk from Eyre Square, the bars and restaurants. Stayed in a duo studio. It had 2 separate bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchenette. Will definitely stay here again.

A good, central place for Galway, easy to get to from the bus and train stations. Everything was fine but the room was quite small especially the bathroom.

We had a great stay. The twin room was a small apartment with two bedrooms leading off a little kitchen/diner. This was great as we had expected one room with twin beds. It was very comfortable. The discounted parking right across the road was a bonus and it was two minutes walk into the centre.

Very clean, up to date, private room with private bath and QUIET! The location couldn’t have been more convenient - 50 meters from the bus station. Highly recommend for solo travelers. <100 Euros/night is great deal and better than a hostel.

This is a great place if you don’t mind the dorm like feel. They don’t have a restaurant but it’s close to restaurants and convenience stores and all the tourist attractions in Galway. Also close to the train and bus stations.

This accommodation was wonderful and the room, although simple, provided everything that should be expected for an off-season dorm room. Note though, that basic kitchen amenities (ie, hot water, cups, etc.) are not provided

The location was just perfect , 3 mins walk from Eyre square. Staff were great . Parking was extra across the road €12 for 24 hours . We booked a studio so we could have prepared breakfast but we didn’t. The only negative was we forgot our fast charger in the room and when we went back to get it there were 2 types of chargers but not ours and because we said they weren’t our one then they said they couldn’t give us either of them !!

The staff were all super helpful but the property itself could be cleaner and better maintained. The floors were sticky and dirty, the blinds were broken and curtains had some rips in them, the shower smelled horrible. The whole suite could be cleaner.

Very basic room, good to spend the night on a business trip, too bad I could not sleep well for all the cars noises from the street below. It’s way too expensive for what it offers.
